The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treat ment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable sp ots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into acti ve and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimul ated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemi a and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patt erns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persi stent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripher al and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superfici al DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contractio n of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palp ation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associate d with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or mo tor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nocicept ive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and re ferred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of sk eletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Supe rficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is ass ociated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion. \n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional l imitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input an d their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights D N also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractur ed muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathol ogy\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migra ines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfu nction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syn dromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope o f practice\, then is it time for you to learn this amazing new technique t o help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nF or more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\nA Club Physio Dry Ne edling Courses registration includes:\n• All supplies needed for the cou rse as needles\, tissues\n• Coloured and illustrated course manual\;\n • Tea\, Coffee and snacks on each day\;\n• Signed certificate of atten dance\;\n• One free premium listing of your practice on our website\nPle ase note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / profession als (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\ , doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or pre vious acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palp ation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insuranc e as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / re hab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and havin g professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this c ourse?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; regist er your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preli minary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your d etails does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below .\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: I f you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have mad e your booking.
